W:1. Why (or Oh) I keep a good a horse as any man in town,
W:Trot sixteen miles an hour I will bet a thousand pound.
W:He's such a one to bend his knee and hash his ankles in,
W:He'll pass them all upon the road and think it is no sin.
W:
W:(Chorus:)With my trot away, gang along, fall the lal the rido
W:He's my tooly rooly rooly roo, he's my right trot away.
W:
W:2. He has an eye like an hawk and a neck like a swan,
W:A foot like a cat and his back you may span,
W:He's rising four years old, all over right and sound,
W:And if he makes a false step I'll lose a thousand pound.
W:
W:3. Being twenty miles from home in the dark I'll never mind,
W:With my pipe and my glass and my friends I leave behind,
W:I'll clap the saddle on his back and away from them will ride,
W:I'll pass them all along the road and leave them far behind.
